Hi Everyone,

Been following quietly for last few weeks and finally getting my new A class Premium In Black (I know, nightmare to keep clean but with the tinted windows I think looks smart!) Anyway, reading through the forum and some older posts Im getting confused with the Me App. My understanding was this came as standard for free for 3 years, including traffic, maps etc, although it seems from reading the forum thats not the case? Anyone recently had delivered a new premium model, what did you get? Android auto comes as standard so i imagine i'd mostly use that for maps and stuff as needed, so wouldnt pay extra.

Its all very confusing, seems straight forward in the brocher and online, then once you've signed on the dotted line, things start to unravil! Just hope its worth it!

Cheers all

I've just downloaded the app too. ECO display is working fine on my phone, so not sure what gone wrong with yours ?

A fiver a month to repeat information from the dash onto my phone? A fiver a year at most and even then I'd lose interest looking at information I can remember anyway after a few uses. Tech is great when it is actually cool, but device dependency isn't my thing. Each to their own of course.

Ok so for my case for the app to work I need to get my mercedes me account authorized from a dealer then all the info will show up. So if you mercedes me account hasn’t been authorized from a dealer that is mostly likely the issue. You need to take your V5 and ID for them to authorized your account at the dealer and it’s a 5 min process from there.

My car is a company lease so I got it authorised by a local dealer just before Christmas.... is there anyway to check the setup is complete? I get the online map update in the Mercedes Me portal which I didn't prior to the authorisation. It doesn't work though - complains of technical errors each time I click it - so wonder if something isn't right some where...

My steps were simple. Got VIN before car was delivered. Got Accout set up and accepted all terms (i think there were two sets of term and conditions to accept this is a must step). On the day of delivery paired the car and the phone. Rang dealer for activation and within hour all was up and running. Bought the services i wanted.

I think there’s a few things, possibly depending on the options on the car - I can open the windows now and couldn't before. Also the eco score was something I hadn’t seen before although I just may not have spotted it. Not sure the additional functionality is going to change my life though !
